The following is a compi- lation of the various bits and pieces picked up by NEXUS. Close to midnight on Monday 31st July 1995, the pilot and flight crew of an Aerolineas Argentinas passenger jet observed a luminous object approaching their craft as the jet began its landing approach to Bariloche airport, approx. 870 miles from Buenos Aires. ~ The brightly lit object approached the jet, flashing and changing colours as it came closer. According to some reports, the pilot, Jorge Polanco, feared a collision and took evasive manoeuvres. The bright object then flew in formation with the plane, at a distance of approx. 100 metres. Most of the estimated 103 passengers also saw the object, with many describing it as a "spaceship" as big as the aircraft, with multi-coloured flashing lights. Observers in the airport control tower, and military officials including Air Force Major Jorge Oviedo, also saw the object. As the plane and UFO approached the airport, all electrical power at the airport and in much of the nearby city of San Carlos de Bariloche failed, causing a black- out. With the runway lights out, the pilot of the jet aborted his landing approach and brought the plane around for a second attempt, which succeeded. Meanwhile, witnesses observed the UFO to climb straight up and out of sight at very high speed. While British and European media gave the story a small mention, Australian and American media did not report it as far as we're aware.

Chatelain believes that some UFOs may come from our own solar system, specifically Titan. "The encounter was common knowledge in NASA, but nobody has talked about it until now. . ",..all Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin—flying saucers, or UFOs, if you want to call them by that name. Every time it occurred, the astro- nauts informed Mission Control, who then ordered absolute silence. "I think that Walter Schirra aboard Mercury 8 was the first of the astronauts to use the code-name Santa Claus to indicate the presence of flying saucers next to space capsules. However, his announcements were barely noticed by the general public. "It was a little different when James Lovell, on board the Apollo § command module, came out from behind the Moon NASA's Scott Carpenter "At no time when the astronauts were in space were they alone. There was a con- stant surveillance by UFOs.” References: * Above Top Secret, by Timothy Good * Great Mysteries: UFOs, by Robert Jackson * Genesis Revisited, by Zecharia Sitchin ¢ The UFO Encyclopedia, by John Spencer (Source: Leland Lehrman, The Gate, New Haven, CT, USA, 10 August 1995; Web page. http: // id.wing.net/~gate/gate.html Downloaded via Pegasus Networks) Kxrow YOUR.

A 316-year-old hand, said to have heal- ing powers, has reportedly helped a priest come out of a coma following a severe stroke. Father Christopher Jenkins was given lit- tle hope of recovery—until his colleague, Fr Anthony Tumuelty, brought the relic to his hospital bedside and placed it on Fr Jenkins’ head. Within hours, Fr Jenkins was conscious, and it wasn't long before he was talking, eating and walking. Kxrow YOUR.
